Exactly how deep is the pavement on Ada's Main Street?

Good question. How did it get that deep, what are those bricks doing under the pavement, how long have they been there, and what's under the bricks?

These questions are surfacing - excuse the pun - as a water line is being placed across Main Street at Lima Avenue. 

With the intersection closed and digging underway, one can study the history of the street by observing what's being uncovered.

Main and Lima Ave, 6 6 14

Note: This is a story about a newborn fawn who happened to be caught in the May 28 flash flood and separated from its mother. The story took place in Bluffton, but the Icon thought it might be of interest to Ada Icon viewers.

On Sunday the Bluffton Icon posted a photo of a newborn fawn discovered in an unnamed Bluffton location. In that story we revealed that Bambi was alone, and curled up in some greenery.

We concluded that:

1 - Bambi was an orphan, or
2 - Bambi's mother left the fawn with plans to return later.
